n December of 2014, Sumrall accepted the assistant head coach position at Troy under then-head coach Neal Brown. He worked primarily with linebackers and served as the special teams coordinator and in three of his four seasons, the Trojans’ defense was tops in both the Sun Belt and NCAA in multiple defensive categories.

The Trojans won a school-record 11 games in 2017 and the Troy defense ranked first in the nation in red zone defense (.614), second in tackles for loss per game (8.6), seventh in rushing defense (105.3), 11th in scoring defense and 24th in total defense per game (336.6).

Troy notched three straight bowl wins, with triumphs in the 2016 and ’18 Dollar General Bowl and the 2017 New Orleans Bowl. Additional highlights included a road win at LSU and a 30-24 loss at No. 2-ranked Clemson.
